Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run
comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in
vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some
GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA
TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher
than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings
can be lowered to improve performance.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
There are only official system requirements on the site which are released by developers or an official publisher.
Making a comparison is not available for this game.
